I'm still giggling over the restaurant I've been at that had a dish referred to in English as 'spagothi' Food was unremarkable.

Like... I still had no idea what a god drat "Zinger" was so I had to go by the pictures anyway. I remember watching an American guy trying to order a chicken sandwich in a McDonald’s in China. He spoke a bit of Chinese and got extremely upset and started yelling when the staff explained that they didn’t serve sandwiches. If he wasn’t such an rear end in a top hat I would have explained to him that the rest of the world calls it a chicken burger.

I know what that means, but it's one of those pieces of terminology that's so deeply ingrained that it just sounds so wrong to me. Like c'mon, a burger's something with ground meat, not a meat sandwich in general! Get it together, other parts of the world!

authenticity is bound w nationalism. a nation is an imagined community, so like real communities you need to eat together - in the imagination. in america thats a burger (a McDonalds burger with Coca-Cola and fries, prolly) but in like, france its a baguette and coq a vin Done Properly fried chicken sandwiches are too universally popular to be a target for nationalism. unless the south rises again and actually takes kentucky this time, i guess bob dobbs is dead has a new favorite as of 18:50 on Dec 4, 2023 |

Theophany posted:Additional points if they have pictures of each menu item so sunburned tourists can point at a picture of a fried egg, like a trained monkey in a zoo rather than suffer the indignity of attempting to learn a single loving word of the country they have inflicted themselves upon. This is true in a lot of places, but if you ever go to China picture menus are standard. Very helpful when you're new or trying to puzzle out what something is when the name doesn't tell you anything. I have a suspicion this is the case because despite the government's insistence, China still has a lot of language variety.

That's a long way from a fried chicken sandwich as not only is it not fried chicken in a bun, it's usually not served hot. Like context goes a long way, asking for a chicken sandwich in KFC it's pretty much understood what that means. But that isn't universal.

I'm still bummed that the default hamburger in so many contexts in Japan is mostly pork. I tracked down a place said to have one of the best burgers in Kyoto, only to be faced with a very pale beige patty. Not what I was expecting/looking for, but it was still pretty decent.

Either way I would not relish getting drawn into an argument in a foreign country where they demand to know why it's called a hamburger if it's made of beef, and me having to explain the history of Hamburg steak, and in the end we're both mad and hungry

Used to be a burger place here and one of their offers was a mixed chicken and beef patty that was deep fried and still referred to as a 'burger'. Was delicious and slightly crispy though, I miss that place.

Tendales posted:That battle was lost the moment the word "cheeseburger" crossed the lips of some marketing uberkind Cheeseburg is a lost gem of a city with an amazing food culture; the quarterly bbq and chili cookoffs, the fondue sector, and oh my god the tapas bars. Oh, and if you haven’t toured the Hibachi Hectare, I don’t even want to know you. The Cheeseburger sandwich is the least interesting thing that’s come out of that place.

Butterfly Valley posted:If Americans call chicken burgers chicken sandwiches what do they call chicken sandwiches depends on the way the chicken is cooked fried chicken sandwich (bun) grilled chicken sandwich (bun) "chicken sandwich" would probably need more clarification, but I'd base it off the source. a sub place or deli it'd be sliced chicken deli chicken on either sliced bread or a sub bun but anywhere else I'd assume fried I think "burger" as a term defining a bun based sandwich over other kinds is fine though, the language just didn't work out that way in the US. definitely one of those language things I don't think matters at all in any way whichever way you use it

The one thing I would be in sync with everybody on is that there is literally no historically or etymologically consistent way to describe a burger. Every country's style is wrong in its own special way

I would guess the differences arose when some fucker called the hamburger with cheese the "cheeseburger" and forever locked America out of the timeline where we use the term burger that way. but thats not based on any actual evidence e: Tendales posted:That battle was lost the moment the word "cheeseburger" crossed the lips of some marketing uberkind

Like c'mon, a burger's something with ground meat, not a meat sandwich in general! Get it together, other parts of the world! You've only ever eaten sparkling meat sandwiches. e: Because the Finnish word for hamburger is literally the translation of Hamburger, i.e. hampurilainen, meaning someone or something from or pertaining to the town of Hampuri (Hamburg), you also get things like porilainen (from or pertaining to Pori), a thick slice of onion sausage between two pieces of toast, and the fondly-remembered munaturkulainen which is funny because muna means both "egg" and "penis"
